In 2007, I presented "The many misspellings of fuchsia" at the CREATE Colour Conference in Bristol, UK.
Visualization of the color term fuchsia.

From the abstract for the paper :
Focused analysis of the colour term fuchsia provides an informative exploration into the nature of colour terms.The colour term fuchsia is visualised as an image where each experimental participant is a pixel.This image can also be presented in frequency-sorted form. Finally, the convergence properties are investigated using the grouped median as a function of the number of subjects. In spite of the inability of a majority of English speakers to spell fuchsia, this colour term exhibits an approximate perceptual convergence with roughly 50 subjects.

In 2010 the paper was published in the proceedings:
Parraman, Carinna, and Alessandro Rizzi. "CREATE: building a multi-disciplinary project in Europe." COLOUR CODED (2010): 6, pages 290-295, "The many misspellings of fuchsia" by N. Moroney
Based on these results, fuchsia is misspelled 90% of the time.
Years later, Stable Diffusion would also learn to misspell fuchsia.
